■Types of Batteries
This flash unit uses four AA batteries of the same type,
as shown below.
Alkaline battery (LR6)
Lithium battery (FR6)
Nickel-Metal Hydride battery (Ni-MH)
(Nickel manganese (Ni-Mn) and nickel cadmium
(Ni-Cd) batteries cannot be used.)
● For information about recycling times and total
number of flashes, refer to “Specifications” on
page 20.
● If the ready lamp does not light up when you turn
on the power (page 8), the batteries may be
exhausted or not inserted correctly. Verify the
orientation of the batteries or, if the indicators
and ready lamp still do not light up, replace them
with new batteries.
● If charging time takes more than 20 seconds, the
batteries are exhausted and should be replaced
with new batteries.
● If you let the flash unit discharge successively
using lithium batteries, the batteries will overheat,
activating a safety circuit that temporarily
disables the flash unit. If this occurs, rest the
flash unit so that the temperature of the batteries
returns to normal.
